Microchip’s wearable Bluetooth Low Energy pedometer reference design demo helps designers develop a low-cost, low-power, wearable pedometer with both an on-board LED display as well as Bluetooth Low Energy capability to connect to smartphones and tablets. This demo board can be used as a basic wearable step count activity tracker design, but it can also be used as a development platform for the design of more advanced activity tracker functions such as distance traveled or calories burned. Also, additional biometric measurement capability can be added using other Microchip medical reference demo designs.

Here’s a look at Microchip’s connected blood pressure meter demo. Also featured in the video are other Microchip connected medical demos suitable for use in home health and wearable designs. Find out more about our solutions for medical and fitness applications using the link below.
